Synthesis and Bridgman Growth of Ga sub(2) S sub(3) Crystals

In this work, Ga sub(2) S sub(3) crystals were obtained by vertical Bridgman method. The presence of cracks in the grown crystals was interpreted as a result of phase transition into monoclinic structure during cooling. This suggests the use of another approach for the growth of high quality samples...

Description
Summary:In this work, Ga sub(2) S sub(3) crystals were obtained by vertical Bridgman method. The presence of cracks in the grown crystals was interpreted as a result of phase transition into monoclinic structure during cooling. This suggests the use of another approach for the growth of high quality samples, e.g. chemical transport method or melt-solution method. Maximal transparency range of 0.48-22.5 mu m and at least 10 times higher damage threshold to that for GaSe render anisotropic Ga sub(2) S sub(3) crystal among the most prospective crystals for nonlinear applications.
